The Black Resilience Network (BRN) is a coalition of Black practitioners, businesses, municipalities, and community organizations. Launched with the collaboration of the Federal Emergency Management Agency at the White House in February 2023, the group facilitates climate and disaster resilience partnerships among federal agencies, philanthropic organizations, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. This session will reframe the role of Black communities and organizations in advancing climate and disaster resilience and discuss BRN's understanding of resilience. It will also showcase BRN's research-driven priorities, including specific ways to collaborate with Black municipalities, community-based organizations, and businesses.
